A brewery tour would be quick.
From South to North we have
Four Friends down towards Carowinds
OMB south of South End
Triple C in South End
NoDa, Bird Song, and Heist are all pretty close.

Heist has the best food but the worst beer. OMB stays true to Germany with water without ice and soda served by the can.
NoDa and Birdsong just have food trucks.

Maybe instead of hijacking your time I should attempt to plan my own DO.

Regardless, I will join everyone here at the Que-do on August 17th and if anyone wants to come early or stay late I will gladly cart people around to local spots.
